Contains: Astonishing X-Men 48-51, the Northstar story from Nation X 2.
Repercussions from the infighting among the X-Men's old guard reach the tight-knit New Mutants: Cannonball, Sunspot, Magma, Cypher, Warlock, Karma and Dani Moonstar all must make life-defining choices in the wake of Schism. Who stays and who leaves? Is there a third choice that could redeem the team?
Meanwhile, Blink is back and the New Mutants are on her trail - made obvious by the mayhem and destruction that follow wherever she goes! And as Dani leads a mission to bring Blink out of exile, Mephisto lurks in the background - waiting to collect on a bargain struck with Magma during the throes of Fear Itself. At the risk of her very soul, will Amara go on a date with the devil?
